The American South is not a singular story but a complex, layered terrain shaped by history, ecology, and culture. Too often reduced to myths of decadence or decline, the South is, in reality, a dynamic landscape of resistance, reinvention, and intersecting identities.
Souths is a transdisciplinary symposium that challenges reductive narratives and amplifies untold stories across urban, suburban, and rural contexts. Through dialogue spanning geography, politics, foodways, storytelling, and infrastructure, this gathering seeks to uncover counterlandscapes revealing hidden truths and imagining transformative futures for the region and beyond.
